Pick 4 (New Jersey) Lottery Results & Winning Numbers

• New Jersey Pick 4 prizes are all accrued on a pari-mutuel basis. It means that the prizes shown on our Prizes & Odds table are only an estimation and they vary according to ticket sales. 
• You can get as much as $25,000 playing this game with $5 tickets. You can purchase tickets worth $0.50, $1, $2, $3, $4, or $5. Our table shows examples for $0.50 and $1 tickets.
• Winners in this game can claim their prizes within up to a year, as in other New Jersey lottery games.
• Straight plays require that you match the order on top of the combined numbers. Box bets, on the other hand, allow 4, 6, 12, or 24 combinations of the same four numbers you choose.
• You can combine Straight and Box bets from $1 tickets, being $0.50 each.
• Front or Back pairs allow you to win a prize by only matching two numbers, but this game lacks the Middle (Split) Pair option found in New Jersey Pick 3.
• Wheel plays are a combination of Straight bets, and that is why they need to cost more while preserving the maximum possible prize.
• Players can improve their winning chances four times by doubling the ticket cost with the Fireball add-on. It adds a random Wild number that can replace any of the numbers that you pick.
• By paying an extra $1, you have the chance of winning up to $500 instantly.
